Redirect to original
Description
A re-submission of this."Brighton beach, England, By the old Pier. 21/07/2008
I love Urban Decay, and I love this gorgeous girl! About time to put up a photo I think. I felt that this image was waiting to be taken. The early afternoon, on a classic british beach, with nothing other to do than have fun and take some photos."
I have adjusted levels and darkened the sea slightly... But there was nothing in the sky that day, but grey, and occasional sun, so I have decided to leave it as is. Thanks to those who suggested the improvement! Cheers guys!

hmmm yeh. you definitely have a problem since you've blown out the whites with the exposure from the start, so there ISNT any detail when you tone it down. im new to photoshop, but i know you can use gradient filters i think, or create one. maybe thats another option to try to make the sky a bit more interesting, or even a tint. but some whites in the ocean (especially on the right) does make it look overworked....HMM

Yeah, I guess I should have another go at some point. I would rather revert to the original than this one. I think it looks a little garish and unreal. I do prefer the other one to this, but who knows, I could stumble across some gold....

Eek! Don't replace the old one, I like it a ton better. The ocean seems so hypersaturated compared to everything else, it's not nearly as good as the understated brightness of the original.

I thought about it, and, like normal, I acted rashly. I dont like this one as much as the other one, but ho hum. I will have another go in photoshop and be a little more subtle next time. But the original is here to stay. Decision made! 
thanks for your support as ever! x
